1980's Long Island was all about Amy Fisher and Ricky Kasso. As a kid growing up in this boring suburban wasteland in the 80's Ricky Kasso was a big deal to me. I can remember me and my best friend walking for miles just to go see the area where Ricky performed his Satanic murderous deed. Of course we got tired, turned around halfway and never made it but I feel our hearts were in the right place. This short film by one of my favorite directors, Jim Van Bebber, takes the story of Ricky adds a few 90's elements (white guys with weird braided/shaved hair, piercings and industrial music) and amps up the violence to make it more disturbing. Eyes are popped out, piercings are pulled and much blood is spilled for Satan. One of my all-time favorite short gore films although maybe that's just my Long Island nostalgia talking.
